Carefully selected berries undergo fermentation and maceration, after which the wine from each class is kept separately for 12 months in French barriques of medium roast. After aging in barriques blending continued for about 24 months. Wine storage capacity is large enough - 15-20 years. Half an hour before drinking wine is recommended to pour into a decanter for aeration. Serve in large wine glasses are advised to type \"Tulip\".A rich and polished effort with complex and layered aromas of black cherries, raspberries and tea leaves, with a core of vanilla, roasted almonds, tobacco and savory herbs. Juicy but firm tannins are lifted by balanced acidity.(50% Merlot , 50% Sangiovese). The Merlot was harvested from Avignonesi’s La Selva parcel and the Sangiovese from the Capannelle estate. The 10-30 year old vines face south\/southwest and are planted on clay, sand and limestone soils. The grapes were vinified separately and macerated on their skins for 20-25 days in oak. After aging for 12 months in new Merlot was blended with Sangiovese and the wine matured for an additional 24 months in new oak.","brand":"Avignonesi-Capannelle","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 750ml \/ Red","offer_id":41170703628,"sku":"2021202-1","price":137.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/products\/avignonesi-capannelle-5050-2010.jpg?v=1567017562"},{"product_id":"cabreo-il-borgo-2013","title":"Cabreo Il Borgo 2022","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-review-scoring\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 POINTS James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eT\u003cspan\u003eItaly - Tuscany - Bolgheri - \"An intense core of black currant and blackberry fruit is framed with violet, mineral and wild herb accents in this firmly structured red.

Quite dry (not sweet) on the palate, soft and with bright acidity, the wine shows flavors of baked cherry, chocolate and cinnamon. Structured but noble, delicate tannins precede a long finish.Amarone is a full-bodied wine for red meats, game, and tasty and piquant cheeses, like parmesan. Generally considered a wine for meditation, it is a great after-dinner wine.Amarone and its sweet counterpart, Recioto, have been produced in Valpolicella since Roman times. Virgil, Suetonius, Martial and Pliny the Elder testify to their existence. The original name for these wines was \"reticum”, later changed to \"acinaticum” by Cassiodorous, minister of King Theodoric. We continue to find historic references during the successive centuries: during the Longobard period, the Middle Ages, the dominion of the Scaligers, as well as during the Most Serene Republic of Venice when this wine was referred to, with great pride,  as a \"wine of the Doges”. The term \"recioto” probably comes from the dialect word \"recia” which means the upper and outer parts of the bunches of  grapes.  These \"recie” are  the grapes which are ripest and which enjoy the best  exposure to the sun. A second hypothesis derives the term \"recioto” from the Latin word \"racemus” which means bunch. A third hypothesis derives the term from \"recisus” which means \"cut and dried”. The existence of a dry Recioto wine is attested from antiquity, even if the term \"Amarone” did not make its appearance until the 18th century. The marketing of this wine on a large scale is more recent and only started during this century. Amarone is a majestic wine which combines dignity with power and grace.Amarone is the product of the ancient wine-making method called \"appassimento\" (drying of the grapes). At the end of September or the beginnning of October, the best clusters of grapes from the hillside vineyards  are picked and placed in wooden boxes or on bamboo racks. The grapes are left to dry for 36 to 48 hours in rooms with controlled atmospheres (controlled humidity and forced ventilation) and then in large rooms in the  old farmhouses in the hills until about the middle of January. There are large openings or windows to allow the free flow of air  which is vital to the drying of the grapes. \u003cp\u003eBy January the grapes weigh 35-40% less and have a naturally enhanced flavor and a higher concentration of sugar. Just the Corvina is attacked by  botrytis (\"noble rot\"). After a delicate pressing and partial destalking of the grapes, they ferment for about 50 days in large Slavonian oak barrels at low, natural temperatures (natural cold fermentation). The wine is racked off its lees, and transferred into barrels of 30-40 hl where the alcoholic fermentation continues for a further 3-4 months,  encouraged by selected \"Saccaromices Bayanus” yeasts. In the meantime malolactic fermentation also takes place. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce the wine is completely dry, it is again rached off its lees and then continues its aging for another 20 to 30 months, partly in large oak barrels and partly in small Allier and Slavonian oak barrels of 600 litres (maximum 3 years old). The wine is then filtered, bottled and aged in bottle for an additional 6 months or more before release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Masi","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 1.50L \/ Red","offer_id":41342364812,"sku":"2069378-1","price":113.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/products\/masi-amarone-della-valpolicella-classico-costasera-2010.jpg?v=1584807447"},{"product_id":"masi-amarone-della-valpolicella-classico-costasera-reserva-2011","title":"Masi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Costasera Reserva 2011","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Advocate 94 points -\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a beautiful wine by the technical winemaking team at Masi.

Amarone hardly gets better than this. This top-shelf wine opens to a midnight black appearance and virtually no light penetration. The bouquet is balanced and complex at the same time and this is no easy feat for a wine made with air-dried grapes. Prune, black plum, blackberry confit, smoke, tar and barbecue smoke appear with carefully measured intensity. There is a point of sourness on the finish and the alcohol clocks in a 16%.

One difference I did notice at this more recent tasting of the 2013 Bolgheri Sassicaia is the bouquet. It has shifted to slightly more delicate and finessed aromas of pressed flower and blue violets. You do of course get that solid core of dark fruit and spice that characterizes this famous Tuscan blend. But that extra time in the bottle has awarded wiggle room for profound precision and focused detailing. The wine's complexity emerges slowly with subtle notes of savory spice and tobacco. There is power and depth here, especially in terms of the mouthfeel. As the wine evolves in the glass, it begins to show ethereal tones of road paving, tar and licorice.

The family’s passion for winemaking has not diminished through the generations; Cristina and Cinzia Travaglini, great-granddaughters of Clemente, manage day-to-day operations at winery.
